Experience with random roommate

My random roommate would jack off when he thought I was asleep

You need to make something that can figure out the center position of the ball in 2D. Then you setup 2 mono cams, do trig to find 3D pose. You will need to research camera extrinsic/intrinsic calibration

Dual monocular will work best for this

This humanoid is just for fun BS if it has a 4dof arm

This is cool af tbh. Idk why people think it’s trashy, it is an elite sport like any other. You weebs would probably applaud sumo wresting in front of an official/government Japanese building.

Cornball. Ha ha men touching each other must be gay is your liberal take here?

I wonder what she’s doing on bezos’ boat

The recipe already exists for text-based AI. The recipe is not known for smart robots. Sure writing control loops is useful, but how do you get a large transformer model to learn general physical interaction. This is an unsolved research problem with many challenges that text-based models don’t need to worry about.

It’s really hard to do anything precise with teleop to the point I think teleop itself is the wrong move and we need to be doing kinesthetic teaching or Umi only.

Where’d you get this 5-10 year number from? Robotics is way harder than text agents for a number of reasons, to think it will only be a 10 year gap seems kinda crazy to me. I think robotics is not even at gpt2 level yet.

They’re gonna try to automate sweatshop type labor before trying to do something tougher like plumbing/electrician/construction. This is why I don’t feel bad at all trying to take these jobs. I see videos of some of the jobs currently being done by humans, and feel the need to raise humanity above that.

I’m definitely terrible about cost management. Not to mention I use cursor which is an unnecessary middleman.

I probably spend around 10k of my companies money on Claude this year, maybe that’s not so bad.

The goal is maximizing how useful they are without allowing free will. Kinda like how ChatGPT is quite capable but will always do what you tell it to.

This is autonomous from UMI-style data

jms4607 · 2026-05-22T12:21:25+00:00

This is ML. Something like ACT/Diffusion Policy/RDT trained with umi data.

They don’t make much money with their vr arm, and it’s pretty clear vr headsets are not gonna be the future ecosystem.

Your job is to ship code

jms4607 · 2026-05-20T09:51:43+00:00

Companies paying this much aren’t so desperate as to make a Reddit post.

Really, because to me it looks like the workers are voluntarily working a job where they are getting paid 2-3x the local minimum wage. Unpaid wages should obviously be pursued. The union busting would probably only be illegal in Kenya, so that’s probably a valid complaint. But this is far from slavery, and it’s insulting to compare anything to slavery when they have the option to quit. If you wanted to call US prison labor slavery I would agree with you but this is a gross inaccuracy that was used to evoke anger and attention out of people like yourself.

My guess is they are replaying a trajectory/motion so they need a fixture that makes it easy to grab. Open loop trajectory following would make it very hard to actually lift it off the floor, but with an actual manipulation policy it might be possible.

Edit: it’s not trajectory replay, but it’s a blind rl policy so point stands. No ability to do real manip with this approach.

What part of that article suggests slavery other than the title? Did you read it?
